摘要:We propose to extract the value of the effective neutrino charge radius from the coherent scattering
of a neutrino against a heavy nucleus. In such an experiment the relevant quantity to measure is the
kinetic energy distribution of the recoiling nucleus, which, in turn, may be directly related to the
shift in the value of the effective weak mixing angle produced by the neutrino charge radius. This
type of experiment has been proposed in order to observe the coherent elastic neutrino-nuclear
scattering for the first time. If interpreted in the way suggested in this work, such an experiment
would constitute the first terrestrial attempt to measure this intrinsic electromagnetic property of
the neutrino.
